Top Highlights
“Pride and selfishness, rather than Christ’s principles of humility and sacrificial love for others, control much of what is called God’s work. All too often God’s work becomes a matter of ego, a competitive game, or a ladder to success in the big business of religion.” (Page 8)
“We must read, study, and meditate directly and continually on the primary source itself—the Bible. Charles H. Spurgeon, a great Bible reader himself and a friend of Chapman, wrote, ‘It is blessed to eat into the very soul of the Bible, until, at last … your blood is Bibline and the very essence of the Bible flows from you.’ Chapman’s blood was certainly Bibline.” (Pages 17–18)
“‘It is one thing to read the Bible, choosing something that suits me (as is shamefully said), and another thing to search it that I may become acquainted with God in Christ.’” (Page 16)
“To a missionary friend, Chapman once said, ‘My business is to love others, not to seek that others shall love me.’” (Page 21)
“‘There are many who preach Christ, but not many who live Christ. My great aim will be to live Christ.’” (Page 14)
